The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 86 Taking Advantage of the Situation to Eliminate Future Troubles
At the entrance of Fountain Street Ranch Park, after just two minutes of car alarms blaring, peace returned.

It might have alarmed nearby residents, but since it had been quiet for such a short time, no one was willing to come out at night to check on the situation.

Pedro, with his hands tied behind his back and blood all over his face, was pointed at by Hawke and walked into the dark ranch park.

Edward ran over from behind, holding a steel wool in his hand, and said, "I picked it out from the exhaust pipe. The tire valves on the right side of the car were all blocked with super glue."

When they reached the edge of the woods, Hawke kicked Pedro down. "Very good, use super glue to seal the valve and steel wool to block the exhaust pipe, right? Savior, put the steel wool in his mouth."

Edward bent down to do it, but his technique was far less skillful than Frank's.

Pedro struggled hard.

Hawke's gun was pressed against his head.

Pedro opened his mouth obediently and the steel wool mixed with cigarette ash was stuffed into his mouth.

Hawke waited for a moment and said, "Answer me a few questions. Who are you? Why did you do this? Who ordered you to do this?"

"Hmm...hmm..." Pedro nodded repeatedly.

Hawke gestured to Edward.

Edward grabbed the exposed end of the wire and pulled hard.

Pedro groaned in pain, and by the time the steel wool came out, his mouth had turned red.

Hawke kicked him and said, "Go ahead."

Pedro spoke in a vague voice: "I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm going this way. I don't like this car..."

Hawke threw the super glue he had found to Edward: "Put the steel wool in his butt and seal it with super glue."

Edward opened his mouth but no words came out. This was not something he was professional at.

Hawke didn't want him to do that, so he continued, "Doesn't he like to use super glue? Seal his mouth, nostrils, ears, eyes, and all the holes on his body with super glue."

He pointed to a horizontal branch of a tree and said, "Hang the man there. His balls will be a good target. I want to practice slingshot in the moonlight."

Use super glue to seal the back. Edward couldn't bring himself to do it, but it was no problem to seal the ears and the like.

He unscrewed the plastic cap, held the man's head, and was about to drip the liquid into his ears.

Pedro was terrified and shouted: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

His head and mouth hurt badly. He took a few deep breaths and said, "My name is Pedro. I came here today to vent my anger for my brothers Luis, Puyol, Xavi and Sergio. They were tortured terribly by you in prison!"

Hawke knew those four names, of course. He asked, "Are you a member of the Shorty Gang?"

"Yes." Pedro looked up and saw the black face and the super glue hanging in front of his eyes. He said, "You and Fox made them miserable. I just want to vent their anger for them."

Hawke thought of Megan: "What did you do to the people in Fox?"

Pedro said: "I scratched Megan Taylor's car."

Hawke asked again, "Who is your boss?"

Pedro didn't want to answer.

Hawke kicked him between the legs without hesitation.

Pedro rolled on the ground in pain.

When the pain subsided a little, before he could recover, Hawke's big foot stepped on his vitals.

Pedro discovered that his brothers would suffer for their loyalty, and that brothers are more important than siblings.

He opened his mouth and shouted, "Henry! Henry Cruze of the Shorty Gang!"

Hawke continued, "Is he related to Miller Collins?"

The brothers were in danger of being crushed, and Pedro followed Hawke's words and said, "Miller Collins and Henry have been good friends since they were teenagers. All the things Miller did that were not allowed to be seen in public were left to Henry to do."

Hawke asked a few more questions and asked Edward to keep an eye on Pedro.

He pulled out his cell phone and thought quickly while searching for Megan Taylor's number.

The Shorty Gang is a trouble after all. They might pop up to cause trouble again at any time. Now they have also provoked Megan. Can Fox TV Network tolerate its well-known female anchors and producers being threatened by a small gang?

Hawke's power is limited at this stage, and what he can't do, Fox can.

Thinking of this, Hawke called Megan.

Megan, who had just come out of the studio, asked, "Why are you calling so late? Is there something wrong?"

"I caught the bastard who scratched your car this afternoon..." Hawke quickly and in detail repeated what Pedro had said.

Megan asked, "Is the person with you? Was he not electrocuted?"

Hawke glanced at Pedro, whose head and face were covered in blood, and said, "He can't die."

He specifically reminded: "The famous female anchor and producer of Channel 11 was threatened by gang members. Doesn't Fox TV Network care?"

As soon as Megan heard it, she knew that Hawke wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but the problem was that she wanted to do the same, and it was not just a matter of the car being scratched.

How can she do journalism with peace of mind in the future if those crawlers in the gutter are not punished?

"This time, you are not tough enough. Next time, more people will come to you." Hawke said what Megan was thinking: "Do you still dare to make hot news?"

Megan said, "Wait for my call."

Hawke waited for a moment and Megan called back.

Fox Network will be fully involved in this matter, and she and several professionals are on their way.

The two sides were not far apart, and within half an hour, three cars drove over. Megan got out of one of the cars, and because she was in a hurry, she was still wearing a short skirt, stockings and high heels.

Seeing Hawke, Megan asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Hawke found that Fox's people came over, so he gathered together and talked to them in detail.

Among them, a security manager at Fox called the police.

Not long after, several police cars drove over and took Pedro away without asking Hawke any questions.

The security chief said to Hawke, "Fox will get to the bottom of this matter."

Hawke said: "Hopefully this will help Fox."

The man smiled and nodded at him, then got into the car.

Megan was also going to leave: "I'm going to keep an eye on this matter and make sure those bastards who dared to attack us get the punishment they deserve!"

Hawke nodded and said, "If you have good news, remember to inform me."

Megan responded, got in the car and left.

Hawke looked at the blocked tire valve and went back to sleep.

…………

When a large news group like Fox starts to take action, not to mention one Frank, even ten Franks cannot compare to it.

Once some dark means were used, Pedro no longer remembered what brotherhood was and confessed everything he knew about Henry Cruze and the Dwarf Gang.

In the early hours of the morning, bursts of snoring could be heard from Henry's apartment.

He drank some wine tonight and called two women. He was really tired and slept very soundly.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a stun grenade was thrown in.

There was a loud roar and a flash of light, and Henry and the two women lay on the ground in agony, unable to get up.

The SWAT team dressed in black rushed in, with submachine guns and shotguns pointed directly at Henry's head.

Henry was in a trance. When he could see things again, he saw a team of SWAT. He was immediately puzzled. Why would they need so many SWAT teams to deal with a little Karami like me?

Almost at the same time, the neighborhood where the Shorty Gang was entrenched was subjected to a large-scale cleanup by the LAPD, and many senior members were arrested.

Among them, Brighton, the leader of the Shorty Gang, was hanged from the beam of his own house and was judged to have committed suicide.

But the safe in his home disappeared without a trace.

On this day, the Shorty Gang, which once ran rampant in some neighborhoods of West Los Angeles, became history.

In the morning, the sun had just risen and Miller Collins, who was caught up in scandal and divorce proceedings, had not yet woken up from his hangover. Several LAPD police officers, led by a police supervisor, knocked on the door of his rented house in the Parisat community and presented a subpoena.

When Miller Collins was taken out of the house, many media reporters who had been notified in advance gathered nearby and took pictures frantically.

Subsequently, several Fox-affiliated media outlets broke the news that Miller Collins would face multiple charges including hiring a killer and instigating others to commit crimes.

His relationship with the Shorty Gang was also brought up again by the "Midnight Entertainment" program, which examined it one by one with a magnifying glass and presented it to all viewers across the United States.

There were even some strange reports in some tabloids, claiming that Miller Collins hired someone to kill Brighton, the boss of the Shorty Gang.

Megan also called Hawke from time to time to share with him what she knew in a timely manner.

On Friday afternoon, folding tables were set up again in the parking lot of Ranch Park.

This time, there were only Hawke, Edward and Frank.

Frank flipped through several newspapers today and felt very sad: "Why didn't you call me that night? I also wanted to try to stuff someone with steel wool..."

He unconsciously pretended: "What a pity. When I dealt with those female stars, I didn't even think of using steel wool."

Hawke and Edward gave four middle fingers at the same time.

"Don't worry, I'll call you next time." Hawke thought of Edward's hesitation and his unfamiliar technique, and said, "You're a first-rate expert at tying and stuffing smelly socks."

Frank seized the opportunity again: "It's mainly because they insisted on it, and I couldn't refuse. After doing it many times, I became proficient in it."

Edward couldn't stand this pretentious guy, so he quickly changed the subject: "Fox TV has made a big splash this time. Megan Taylor is just a female anchor on Channel 11. How can she have such a big impact?"

Hawke simply said: "Meghan does not have such a great influence. Fox is maintaining her own authority."

"I'll tell you something, you who grow cotton." Frank made a detailed analysis: "Fox is one of the four major television networks in the United States. It has many anchors and reporters, many of whom are in sensitive positions. They may use some special means to obtain news. If Fox can't even protect its well-known anchors from being harassed by gang members, what do you think those reporters who are fighting on the front line will think and do?"

He sneered twice: "Fox TV Network needs to send a signal to the public and its employees that they are a solid mountain that cannot be shaken!"

Edward was educated. He rarely ridiculed Frank. Instead, he said, "I understand now that you put it this way."

Frank looked at Hawke and said, "You know all this very well. So when you find an opportunity, use Fox's power to get rid of the troublesome Shorty Gang."

Hawke still said: "Cockroach bites won't kill you, but they are annoying."

After the three of them had their meal, Hawke and Edward left.

Edward said again: "Boss, I won't come to work tomorrow. I'm going to meet Donnie's son."

"Go ahead." Hawke also has an appointment tomorrow.

Megan Thee Stallone invited him to a party for Late Night Entertainment.

　The first order was over 4100, the best result since I started writing the book. No doubt, we’ll reach 11 per day in November.
